Because men like to swim at the beach much more than women Grin

Women visit the beaches too. If they don't swim, the sharks that get them are the men.

Of course, we don't really know that it isn't the women who get the men. Perhaps the women lay out at the beaches just to trap and "shark" the men who would be swimming there. And the poor guys don't even know it, seem to like it. Oh well. Better than the water sharks getting them... maybe.

I wonder if this is easily just because men go into more dangerous waters than women. I mean it is proven sharks really don't like the taste of humans. It is humans looking like seals to shark's.

Well, it does seem that women are a bit more down to earth practical.

Are you implying Anita has a legion of genetically modified sharks under electronic mind control at her disposal which she uses to take her vengeance against the male gender?

Yes. Exactly that.

Let's be honest, would you put anything past a matriarch? They would gladly go around lobbing the heads off any males who didn't immediately bow down and worship them if they could get away with it Tongue

Just more proof of the maleocracy and patriarchal bias. We need to teach sharks not to rape... er bite! ... or at least make sure sharks act without misogynistic bias. Women taste equally as good as men! I will not rest until an equal number of women are eaten by sharks as men! Until there are equal opportunities to be eaten by a shark for men as well as women I will be carrying this 5 gallon bucket of ocean water around with me every where I go as a statement against the other sea creatures allowing such injustice.

Look, let's be reasonable here.

We hunt deer, we prefer to kill the bucks.

Sharks hunt human meat, they kill men.

Sharks hunt human meat, they should kill women. Grin

Yes but. What percent of women sharks kill men? Grin

Australian scientists baffled by finding that men are targeted in 84 per cent of all unprovoked shark attacks, and make up 89 per cent of all shark bite fatalities

Quote

Sharks are nine times more likely to kill men than women, new research from Australia shows.
Men are targeted in 84 per cent of all unprovoked shark attacks, and make up 89 per cent of all shark bite fatalities - which means that women are statistically more likely to survive a shark attack.

The numbers are from a study out of Bond University in Queensland to be published in the international journal Coastal Management this week.
Report author associate professor Daryl McPhee told the Telegraph the results were so surprising that he had to double-check them.
"Potentially men spend more time in the water, and are more risk-prone," he suggested.

I think, men spend more time on the sea rather woman

and there's some biological habit that turn out the shark habit.

according my biology lesson on the school

I'm sure it will devolve into that because for once we all agree this is a really stupid article, it's like seeing creationists comment on evolution.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?

I came in here because I thought you meant that Sharks are 9x more likely to kill a man than a woman, as in for every man a woman kills, 9 more are killed by sharks. Little bit disappointed, I wanted to read that study.

Good to know that women are more targeted on provoked attacks than mens.

I guess that is because mens are strongers, so the shark either attacks by surprise or runs aways.

Because it is very common people go to oceans to provoke and attack sharks, or just annoy them for nothing making them angry and forcing them to attack.

I did it two times only in the last week, was really fun.

Really dumb "comprehensive" study.

Although this is comical:

Quote

"People patting sharks on the head, making them angry, putting their hand in the shark's mouth to get a fishing hook out. Jumping on sharks and trying to ride them. There are provoked shark attacks that should win Darwin Awards," he said.

Argh what a dumb statement to make in that news article. Of course more men get attacked then women... how many male surfers and swimmers and such are there compared to female? Likely the researcher that did the study has never stepped out of his research office to a beach and observed the genders of people doing water activities.

And the reason is given in the article itself:

Do we need an academic research to know this? People who spend more time in water and those who venture in to the deeper waters are more likely to fall victims to shark attacks.
